THE MAILs.-There is great complaint at
the irregularity of the mails. Many of our
exchanges come to us two or three days
late marked "Missent.'' The trouble
seems to be among the route agents. They
are worked too hard, not being allowed
sufficient help to properly handle the mails.
Too much reform CD is no reform at all
some times. Something is wrong and the
country demands a remedy.

THE COLD WEATHER ACCOUNTED FOR.
1t was reported hereabOutS last week, as
a fact ascertalned by scientists, that as a
consequence of the earthquake of last Au-
gust this part of the country had been
jOlted up about three hundred miles nearer
the North pole. Ii the question is to be de-
cided by the increase of the cold, three
hundred miles will not answer-say a
thousand or mOre.-GreenSbOrO Workman.
1t is very evident that something is
wrong. We have slipped nearer the North
pole, or the North pole has slipped nearer
us-or else Capt. Greedy who now has
charge at the weather department is giving
us a sample of what he experienced in the
Arctic regions. Certain it is there has been
great change in the weather since the
earthquake. 1t was not near SO cold last
August as it is now.

Removing n Serious Obstruction
Gently.

Dynamite and giant powder might answer
admirably to remove instructions from Hell
Gate in East River, New York, but explosive
measures in medication are ever attended
with disastrous consequences. For instance,
the bowels cannot be violently drenched with
safety, nor is there the slightest nece -sity
for SO doing. On the contrary, it is most
unwise. None but the purblind adherents
of antiquated theories in medicine advise
or sanction such course. To weaken the
intestines-the effect of drastic purgation-
is to compromise the health of the entire
system. With Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
on the other hand, the bowels are relaxed,
not by eonvulsion of nature approximate
ing to an eruption of Mt Popocatapetl, but
gradually, beneicially, without wrenching
or drenching. The liver and stomach, as
well as the bowels, are toned and benefited
by it.

The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1887-02-10

THE action Of Mayor Denny in refusing to
consider the triiling charge brought by the
prosecutor against the two men mentioned in
yesterday Journal as having been arrested
for enticing two sixteen year-old sisters from
their home for immoral purposes, is deserving
of the highest commentator. The Mayor
could not compel the bringing of proper
charge against them, but he could put himself
on record as declining to shield such offenders,
and this he did do, and also gave them chance
of getting their just deserts by demanding the
case to the grand jury. The tendency in the
City Court to protect libertines of the 'fnfu-
entail" sort at the expense of their victims and
associates, has long been a scandal and dis
grace, and it is gratifying to see that there is
to be an effort at reform in this direction.
